** BRAZIL. 11815.033 approx., Jan 18 at 0706, Rádio Brasil Central, mentioning
Goiânia just as I tune in, S7. I think this frequency had been off for a while
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 11855.0, Jan
18 at 0710, R. Aparecida ID, now close enough to the CCI to make a fast SAH with
it, i.e. maybe 15 Hz, from CRI, ALBANIA, toward W Europe and US (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UK [non] 11770
** GERMANY. 15150, Jan
18 at 1528, S Asian language mentioning address in Maharashtra, music to cutoff
at 1529:05*. Aoki shows it`s AWR via Nauen in Punjabi. 15150 should have come
back on at 1530 with Gospel for Asia, Monday in Chhattisgari (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 800, XEROK, follow-up to my observations
that it`s back on the air seemingly with full 50 kW power, from Humberto Molina,
El Salvador, Jan 17 on the dxldyg:
``Hi! Something about Radio Cañón: on
January 12, Mario Arriola ask for report to the "Diexismo" Facebook Group; he
claims than the station has now 35 kW. Saludos!!`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Jan 18 at 0613 UT, listening to a suite from
``Carmen`` on KUCO, carrying the WCPE classical music service from NC ---
suddenly the audio crashes into a big distorted ripple and slows down, including
the following announcement, altho the pitch of the voice and the music does not
seem to have lowered. VERY strange, an uplink or downlink problem? Still so past
0631+ but back to normal by last check 0717. I was afraid it would be that way
all night on automation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA
NEW GUINEA [and non]. 7324.945 approx., Jan 18 at 1418, S7 carrier here with
heavy flutter and a trace of modulation, presumably the reactivated Wantok Radio
Light, during the CRI hiatus from 7325. Mauno Ritola had measured it on
7324.942, with which I will not quibble. CRI 7325.0 carrier back on at *1425
making low audible het, also with flutter but S9; 1430 CRI IS and signing on in
Tagalog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9996, Jan 18
at 0635 a carrier here, which certainly suggests RWM, and maybe some tix at
imagination level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET)
** SUDAN [and
non]. 15550, Jan 18 at 1533, 1 kHz tone jammer with VP signal, still here,
having been fooled by R. Dabanga`s shift to 15545, clear with good signal via
VATICAN. Sudanese jamming command in the past has been slow to react (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 11517, Jan 18 at 1424,
JBA carrier from presumed V. of Tibet, via TAJIKISTAN, still here for the
1410-1430 segment, and still no sign of a CNR1 jammer on 11515 or 11520. Fooled
`em! Until they read my logs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
U K [non]. 11770, Jan 18 at 0704, BBCWS news in English // 9915, during the only
hour it uses this frequency, which is 27 degrees from ASCENSION to CIRAF 46,
meaning west Africa from Western Sahara south and from Niger/Nigeria west.
Notable is that RNA Brasil 11780.1 is heavily splashing 10+ kHz above and below
that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO
1808 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday Jan 18 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ
5109.7-CUSB and webcast; also confirmed at 0430+ on WRMI 9955. Next:
Tue
1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.6 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v
to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Jan 18
at 0632, WRMI is playing its great eclectic medley of filler music, instead of
Brother Scare; 0636 Afropop, still past 0700 good signal is holding up unusually
this late. The other BS frequencies on WRMI are still running The Overcomer
Ministry, from 5015 to 5850, 7570, 7730, 11580. This is because the main WRMI
frequency, 9955, is on a different server than all the others. At 1526 UT, when
9955 is once again on TOM, it`s about two words ahead of 11565 and all the
others, not synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A. 15825, Jan 18 at 1535, WWCR-1 poor signal is on correct frequency unlike
yesterday when it stayed on 15795 past 1700 --- I wonder if it was all the rest
of that day? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Another
scan of the MW band during another presidential candidates` debate, this one the
Democrats originally on NBC-TV, UT Monday Jan 18 at 0220 UT: NOT a single
station found carrying it, neither the bigsig clearish channels nor anything
recognizable on the regionals and locals. This includes of course, all the
stations which did carry the last Republican debate, and some carrying the
previous Democratic debate. Just too much more important stuff, like far-right
talk show reruns, silly sports talk, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 850, UT Sun Jan 17 at 0450 UT, KOA Denver with Art Bell
musing on the Clinton re-elexion campaign vs Bob Dôle! And wishing that Bill
Clinton would not be re-elected, in light of Whitewater, but afraid he will be.
It`s the widely broadcast `Somewhere in Time`` Saturday night reruns of the
original Art Bell show, this one from 1996y, a bi-decade ago. What`s the point?
For diehard fans of Art Bell, I guess. Apparently whoever threatened Art enough
to get him to quit his new show has okayed the reruns. Also on several other
bigsigs as I scan across the MW band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Jan 18 at 1435, R. Sana`a with usual
stirring music at S9+20; 1441:32 a Qur`an-like song, but with instrumental
accompaniment; 1450:25 an assertive Arabic speech with echo, which I think is a
produxion effect in this case; 1452 chanting; cut to Maghrib sunset call to
prayer at 1454:00, which is 44.5 seconds later than yesterday at 1453:15.5.
Sunset in Sana`a today: 1453; in Aden, 1454, so right back on track. Gradual
fade down but still good past 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15315-LSB, Jan 18 at 1530, 2-way in Spanish, seeming to
quit at 1531. INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
